Description

With the acquisition of the name "Yisrael" a Jew can never affect the internal essence of his kedusha (holiness). In Parshas Vayishlach, Yaakov  confronts Esav and the angel of Esav. Yaakov is injured and leaves limping but victorious. The limp is an indication of the indecision the  future children of Yaakov  will face  in the world. The limp is temporary - the blemishes of the Jew can easily be removed. The blemish of Esav is permanent.
